Jesper Svensson

Jesper Svensson will compete at The Open for the third year running after claiming one of the qualifying places on offer at the RBC Canadian Open.

The Swede managed his best major result when he finished on seven-under-par and in a tie for 16th at Royal Portrush in 2025.

Svensson began 2024 ranked 282nd in the world, but in a brilliant first season on the DP World Tour he won the Porsche Singapore Classic, was a runner-up three times, and finished tenth on the Race to Dubai.

This ensured his place at Portrush, along with his PGA Tour card.

So far in 2026 he has recorded top ten results at the Puerto Rico Open, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson and the RBC Canadian Open.

Svensson played the first major of his career in the 2024 PGA Championship, surviving the halfway cut and finishing joint 53rd, and then made his Open debut at Royal Troon.

He played college golf in North Carolina and represented Sweden in the 2017 and 2018 European amateur team championship.
